Worst Pop Artists

The Top Ten
1 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette. ...read more.

Justin Bieber just sounds like a 6-year-old girl. I don't understand any of his fans. And why bother making a movie about this guy?

I was in a party in our school (a year ago), once. I was there to change the song, CD, whatever. But then, ten girls wanted me to play Justin Bieber. I didn't know much about him, so I thought "OK". But after playing the song 3 seconds 20 people walked to my desk and desired changing the song with some swear words I'm not gonna repeat here. I changed the song.

And you call this music?!

He sucks ass and his music is total, incomparable crap. nevertheless, he has an army of fans who has crap where it used to be brain. he sounds like a 12-year-old girl and his lyrics are only for stupid teenage girls who dreams about love and other crap. so if I organize a party and you'll try to play Justin Bieber songs - get ready to get a bottle full of pee poured over your head.

Justin is completely auto tuned and he doesn't produce music! His fame comes from his face and that's it. He's highly overrated and shouldn't be nearly as popular as he is today to due his arrest records and felonies which sets a bad influence for kids these days! I cringe every time I have to hear this garbage they actually call music.

Literally everyone uses the excuse "he sounds like a girl" for the reason to hate him. But honestly it just shows how pathetic everyone is considering the fact that, that reason has been irrelevant for like 5 years now. It's getting old; seriously find some better excuses

2 Nicki Minaj Onika Tanya Maraj, known professionally as Nicki Minaj (born December 8, 1982) is a Trinidadian/American rapper / pop music artist. Minaj is most known for her songs such as "Anaconda", "Super Bass", "Starships" and her feature on "Bang Bang". Despite her controversial songs, Brent Staples from "The New York Times" claimed her to be 'the most influential female rapper of all time', presumably distinctive for her fast flow and her use of alter egos with Cockney accent. She has endorsed Adidas, MAC Cosmetics and Pepsi. Minaj has received ten Grammy-nominations throughout her career, and has won multiple awards including the Billboard's Women in Music 2011 Rising Star award.

She's not only an insult to RAP culture, but also to the female gender and African American community. The worst part is she know it and she knowingly embraces it.

She is even worse than Justin Bieber. While many people on this list deserve to be here, Nicki Minaj is one of the worst I know of.

People only put JB at number one MAINLY because he's a bad person. But they clearly don't know that Nicki Minaj has an even worse voice that him! (If that's possible)

She's ugly.
And I am not just saying that because I hate her and her music. I really hate how much makeup she has to slather all over her butterface.

3 Kidz Bop Kids

Kidz bop makers songs that are already horrible- worse! Most of the kids on there are teenagers so they can say a few swear words anyways. We don't need anymore censored garbage! If you Rly can't tolerate a cuss word, there are ample censored versions of songs available. We don't need these sell outs!

They are considered one of the worst pop bands ever. I don't like how they ruin songs, I don't like their stupid outfits, awful voices, couldn't write songs, just stupid looking gangsters, they need to go to jail. Not my favorite. Boo Yoo!

They literally pick the bad singing kids, and decline every kid with at least a LITTLE bit of talent! There not even popular, and there are about 1,000,000 million reasons why they are not good and why they are not played ANYWHERE. And mini kidz bop-don't even get me STARTED! So there.

I'm suddenly wishing I'd read all the options before voting for Boober...

I hate these little punkasses. I hate them more than words can say. More than every other crappy thing in this world combined and multiplied by infinity. I just hate them.

4 Chris Brown Christopher Maurice "Chris" Brown (born May 5, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, dancer and actor. Born in Tappahannock, Virginia, he was involved in his church choir and several local talent shows from a young age. He is most well known for his physical assault towards the singer Rihanna in 2009. He is also known for many hit singles, such as "Kiss Kiss", "Run It!", "Forever", "Deuces", "Look At Me Now", "Loyal", "Ayo", and "Back to Sleep".

Just another example of why today's record companies suck! They could promote something good for a change.

If I were Rihanna I would have at least pressed charges against this dick.

Used to be good but now he is bad.I still love his older songs though.

5 Meghan Trainor Meghan Elizabeth Trainor is an American singer and songwriter. Trainor's work has been recognized with several awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award, Music Business Association's Breakthrough Artist of the Year accolade and two Billboard Music Awards.

Accept me for who I am, for I may be a little above average build and weight, but that's just me. Ask me for my number however and that's unnaceptable because that's how double standards work right? The absolute worst pop singer to have come crawling out of whatever hole this decade, maybe ever. Stupid lyrics, nasaly voice and nonsensical songs. Artists like Meghan Trainor are the core reason I hate pop music and I think a lot of other people do too.

Don't you have to be the best looking girl in the world? To even get on this list? Plus I don't know one of her songs! (Glad I don't have kids)

Some people say that Meghan thinks that she can rap.So here is a conversation I made
WARNING THIS CONVERSATION IS NOT TO OFFEND ANYONEIS NOT MADE FOR NEGATIVE PURPOSES OR TO MAKE FUN OF PEOPLE!

6 One Direction One Direction (commonly abbreviated as 1D) were a British-Irish pop boy band based in London, composed of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and previously, Zayn Malik until his departure from the band on 25 March 2015. The group signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records after forming and finishing third in the seventh series of the British televised singing competition The X Factor in 2010. Propelled to international success by social media, One Direction's four albums, Up All Night (2011), Take Me Home, Midnight Memories and Four topped charts in most major markets, and generated hit singles including "What Makes You Beautiful", "Live While We're Young", and ...read more.

It pains me that people and bands like them are popular nowadays. To be honest, their music isn't terrible, but it's the kind of music that any 5 guys can do... better. Obviously, they're only popular because of their attractiveness to any girl who hasn't become an adult yet. And I wish the popularity of artists wasn't entirely about "sex appeal," because there is a lot more to music than that. Just goes to show that the less effort put into the pop industry, the more popular it is.

These group of boys are horrendous! It annoys me how many 12 year old girls are crazy over there music. There's nothing special about it. Just a bunch of mediocre 20 year old guys who think they know the ins and outs of love but don't. Zayn was absolutely right for leaving these guys in the dust, for their whole music act is horrible and meaningless.

WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?!? Sure they are really cute but they were put together on the x-factor, a singing competition! People on the x-factor are on there because of their voices, not because of their looks!

One Direction stole from many bands, and they are musical cyanide. Someone tried comparing them to Gorillaz before. Obviously that person is retarded.

7 Britney Spears Britney Jean Spears, born on December 2, 1981, is an American former singer and actress. She was born in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana. As a child, she performed acting roles in stage productions and television shows, such as "The Mickey Mouse Club," before signing with Jive Records in 1997... read more

How could you not like Britney Spears? She's been in the industry since 1998, and has had a number of hits under her sleeve. Baby One More Time, Toxic, I'm a Slave 4 U, Oops! I Did It Again, Womanizer, Circus, Till The World Ends, and so much more. Sure, there was her off year in 2007, but that doesn't make her a bad singer.

Strongly dislike her. I do have some respect for the woman because she is still a relevant pop icon after 17+ years in the industry. But she's long run her course and her music lacks meaning and quality.

If you think her songs lack meaning then you have not really listened to the lyrics to songs like: Piece of Me, Ooh La La, Slave 4 U and …Baby One More Time. I recommend the albums Blackout and In The Zone!

8 Silento Richard Lamar Hawk, better known by his stage name Silentó, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor. He is best known for his debut single "Watch Me", which reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100. Recently, he is also known for murdering his cousin and is currently in prison.

If no one likes him then why is the Wii the most popular dance maybe and that everyone knows the song

Watch me whip has like 11 words worst song I've ever heard in my 17 years of life

Why isn't this even on the list?

Below Adele? , What A Joke

9 LMFAO LMFAO was an American hip hop-electronic dance music duo consisting of uncle and nephew Redfoo and SkyBlu.

They suck very much, am I right or not, I believe I am, sexy and I know it, really -. - so annoying am a right yes I'm right, thank you

I'm sexy and I know it... just... NO. Why don't ou at least carry out a survey before you make such claims?

Now I really LMFAO because they are now hated.

The Contenders
11 Charlie Puth Charles Otto "Charlie" Puth Jr. is an American singer, songwriter and record producer. His initial exposure came through the viral success of his song videos uploaded to YouTube.

Talk about annoying.

Like when this pop star/actress was good she voiced penny in bolt

I feel sorry for her! She will be the next with a suit over gropping allegations!?

She was good now she just is terrible

She went from good to horrible

13 The Jonas Brothers The Jonas Brothers are an American pop rock band. Formed in 2005, they gained popularity from their appearances on the Disney Channel television network.

AWWW HOW SWEET! Brothers that love Money More than each other! By the way, what is the name of a song!?

14 Lady Gaga Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.

On the start of her career, she performed at an event called the Lollapalooza Festival during 2007 whereby a record label company Interscope found her due to her performance being “amusing” to watch. Since Interscope found her, she was a mastermind behind her songs with a team of producers namely Rob Fusari and RedOne. Most of her songs were deep unreleased cuts, due to her having more than 30 songs and 17 were picked. ...read more.

This Little Madonna wanna be. I can't understand why people suddenly like a bisexual lady with auto tune. There's only one guy I know who likes her and he's been to a lunatic asylum.

Honestly after Madonna there has been just too many fake followers who think they're unique. First Britney Spears, then Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry and now this fat-voices Lady Loser.

Absolutely ridiculous. Doesn't have a real voice and only gets attention due to her infamous outrageous outfits that she feels the need to wear to every red carpet event.

Just a awful voice. If you hear "you and I" and see her she is the living medusa. She is even worse then Ke$ha.

People like this? This artist drives me crazy! And not in a good way!

15 5 Seconds of Summer 5 Seconds of Summer are an Australian pop-rock band from Sydney, Australia, that formed in 2011. The group were originally YouTube celebrities, posting videos of themselves covering songs from various artists during 2011 and early 2012. They rose to international fame while touring with One Direction on the Take Me Home Tour.

If there's only 5 seconds of summer I hope this band is only around in the summer

I only stood four seconds. They don't deserve the 5th.

More like Five Seconds of Never.

5SOS AKA (5 Seconds of Oral Sex)

16 Iggy Azalea Amethyst Amelia Kelly, born June 7, 1990 known professionally as Iggy Azalea, is an Australian rapper, singer, songwriter, and model.

I heard about five seconds of her awful Bounce "song" or whatever it's called and I kid you not, literally everyone in the car suddenly became suicidal. Cities were burning. Children were screaming. And I was suffering. And it isn't just that one song, either- every single one of her songs are terrible. She's genuinely one of the worst artists I've ever heard.

Looks like an albino black woman and tries to sounds black. I'm sick of all these white people who do that. Rap needs to die in the next decade with how terrible it's gotten.

Ugh, "Fancy" is one of the worst songs that I have ever heard! If I were ever to be a fan of Iggy (yeah right), that song would completely change my opinion.

She can't sing at all. She should be number 1 at the pop stars who can't sing. She's ugly.

17 Shawn Mendes Shawn Peter Raul Mendes is a Canadian singer-songwriter and model. He attracted a following in 2013, when he began posting song covers on the popular video sharing application Vine.

I don't think he's bad. Of course, that's a matter of opinion and I guess I can see why one wouldn't like him.

18 Ke$ha Kesha Rose Sebert (formerly known as Ke$ha) was born on March 1st, 1987 in Los Angeles, United States. She is best known for her hits like Timber, Tik Tok, and We R Who We R. Kesha is an animal rights activist and she works for H.S.I. (Humane Society International). Kesha also stands up for L.G.B.T. rights in America

Kesha is AUTOTUNED GARBAGE! All of her songs have this unnatural metallic beat and stupid lyrics with absolutely no meaning. I don't know who put that girl on the map and told her she was special, because she's just another dumb artist that doesn't know how horrible her voice sounds. Even with enhancements she sounds like R2D2!

she is a terrible singer and obviously doesn't know what real music is, but come on! They put ABBA, Michael Jackson, and Eminem on here? WTF?

Anywhere from the lack of real instrumentation to her attempts at "singing" should place her at number one on this list.

19 Future

! Katy so shouldn't be here! Like she is the best pop star in the universe! And she has the most followers in twitter! My favourite song in the world is California gurls and I didn't spell girls wrong that is how she spells it in the song and my second favourite song is International smile! Katy Perry I defend you strongly!

One of the fakest artists ever. She got her big beak from singing gospel music and coming from a strict Christian background... Then 10 years later she comes out with highly inappropriate songs such as "I kissed A Girl" and showy, skimpy outfits including whip cream bras on stage. It's very

Nothing more than the music industry's hand puppet. She's plastic and hallow in every way, and she and her music are some of the cheesiest ever created. Musically, she can rarely hold a note. Shen she's at her best, she's just... okay.

May I just say that Katy has the best voice ever! The best songs too! She has so much talent, and she songs like an angels. If you don't agree with me, please kindly go drown yourself.

22 Fifth Harmony Fifth Harmony was an American girl group based in Miami, composed of Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, and previously, Camila Cabello until her departure from the group on December 18, 2016. The group signed a joint record deal with Simon Cowell's label Syco Records and L.A.

I'll be damned if they can actually make a decent song.

23 Carrie Underwood Carrie Marie Underwood is an American singer, songwriter, and actress. She rose to fame as the winner of the fourth season of American Idol, in 2005. Her debut album, Some Hearts, was released in 2005.

Well she acts more like a crappy popstar. Her target audience most likely listens to the Jonas Brothers than, say, Merle Haggard.

Certainly One Direction aren't as bad as this right wing farmbot.

She's country, not pop.

24 Will.I.Am will.i.am is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, and actor known for being the lead vocalist in The Black Eyed Peas. He was born in Los Angeles, California. He has released several solo albums such as "Songs About Girls" and "Will Power" .
25 Justin Timberlake Justin Randall Timberlake is an American singer-songwriter, actor, dancer, and record producer. Born and raised in Tennessee, he appeared on the television shows Star Search and The All-New Mickey Mouse Club as a child.

JT doesn't deserve to be on the list. I'll say that some of his content is passible, but he can at least sing and dance unlike the other singers on this list.

Why is he on the list? He's one of the best..
